British-Bulgarian Society Tours

We have been privileged to run the special interest Tours of the society since 1996. The British-Bulgarian Society (B-BS), a charitable British organisation, has initiated tours to Bulgaria for over 40 years as one of its means to promote friendship, understanding and cultural relations between the peoples of Britain and Bulgaria. The society uses income from these tours to support a variety of educational and conservation projects in both countries. We fully share these goals and by contributing to the joint product, we aim to give you an added satisfaction.

Every year the focus of the tours is on the less known features of Bulgaria, its flora and fauna, bird life, butterflies, festivals, music, embroidery, village life, wine tours, archaeology, monasteries and pilgrimages.

Bulgaria is undergoing an amazing transformation and nobody is better placed than us together to follow developments. Lately, we increasingly cross borders into the neighbouring countries of Greece, Macedonia, Romania and Serbia on various integrated tour themes, such as the rich natural history and cultural heritage of this fascinating South-eastern cradle of civilization of Europe and the world.
